Hello Confident. Welcome to Mylot. Sounds like you read one of those articles that was full of cliches. You have to look at the deeper meaning. Think like a philosopher. Example: "Nothing is nothing at all." Take it literally. There is a song that sums it up. "Nothing from nothing leaves nothing."
Philosophically, if you do nothing with your life, just waste it away, do not get an education, do not get a job and make something of yourself, never help anyone, be a selfish, angry person, then you have nothing at all.
The expression "What's done can't be undone"
There is another expression "You cannot unring a bell." This is especially true in relationships. If you say cruel and hurtful things to someone or if you do something to break the trust that you had with a good friend, you cannot undo the harm that you did. That person has heard your harsh and mean words. The damage has been done.
Have fun with your reading.
